Hi all, My name is Alexis, I've just joined this site today and I'm looking for some advice regarding starting a serious weight training routine.

I have been using very light weights (1.5kg) for quite a while (a year plus) I am aiming to build my biceps and triceps to a good standard, I would like to be medium ish size, so they stand out, proper muscle!

I am thinking of buying 15kg weights tomorrow-would this size weight be ideal to start to aim to build proper muscle in biceps and triceps?

I've been doing cardio workouts and have changed my diet to include a lot of brocolli, brown rice, whole weat/brown pasta, chicken and turkey.

I work out Thurs, Sat and Monday.

On rest days I focus on doing crunches and press ups with some cycling thrown in.

Am I heading in the right direction to build muscle on my arms?

Thanks in advance!
